AmeriCorps State Request for Proposals
On August 12, 2016, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) released its Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the 2017-2018 Program Year. The 2017 competition will target AmeriCorps grantmaking on the six national focus areas identified in the Serve America Act and the agency's five-year Strategic Plan: disaster services, economic opportunity, education, environmental stewardship, healthy futures, and veterans and military families. In order to maximize the impact of the public investment in national service, CNCS will fund programs that can demonstrate community impact and solve community problems using an evidence-based or evidence-informed approach.
Through the 2017 competition, CNCS seeks to prioritize the investment of national service resources in disaster services, economic opportunity, education, the environment, veterans and military families, and the Governor and Mayor Initiative. CNCS will continue to focus on national service programs that improve academic outcomes for children, youth, and young adults. See RFP 17-631-7003-00061 (below) for Program Year 2017-2018 funding priorities.
